adding subsubsection to Koma-script scrreprt

Question

The Koma-script class scrreprt does not provide numbering of \subsubsection. I would like to have, if possible, \subsubsection available like \subsection. I have found a solution but the question is asking more advanced formatting which is not what I want.

Answer 1

In the KOMA classes, the counter secnumdepth controls the level down to which the headings are numbered. The default for scrreprt is \subsectionnumdepth, i.e. \subsection is the lowest level that still gets a number, and all levels below don't. The solution is thus to set the value of secnumdepth to \subsubsectionnumdepth.

Minimal example:

\documentclass{scrreprt}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{\subsubsectionnumdepth}
\begin{document}
\chapter{My chapter}
\section{A section}
\subsection{The subsection}
\subsubsection{New subsubsection}
\end{document}
